- In the year 135 there was not one
mile of railway in Canada. In 1830
there were 10 miles, and this mileage
was not increased until 1847, when
there were 54 miles. In 1850 there
were 1414 miles, and at Confederation
2,278 miles. In 1890, the mileage had
increased to 13,977 miles, and now
there are 18,988 miles.

A. special report %vas laid before
Parliament 1 alllatueltt last week showing that
the Canadian Government owns 0,0121
utiles of hind telegraph lines, 318 miler
of cable, total 6,8)0. The average
yearly number of Messalges sent is 00,-
500, of which the Yukon lines carried
42,000. The expenditure on the Gov-
ernment telegraph service hist year
was $373,318, and the, receipts $132,422.
The Yukon line cost to inaintairr $243,-
11, and the revenue was $113,005.
9N-
- To show the tendency of the Do-
minion Government and the G. T. R.
to work together, the following from
the Hagersville News is to the point: -
"The parade of the companies from
this point was decidedly disappointing
to the officers of the regiment and
friends of the force. At the officers'
meeting in Cayuga, arrangements
were blade for the transportation of
the regiment by the Michigan Central,
and five companies and the Band were
to entrain at Hagersville. Orders
however carne from Ottawa compell-
ing officers and men to go by the
Grand Trunk. The protest of the of-
facers through Lieut. -Col. Thompson
proved unavailing, and to cap the
climax transportation from this point
was only furnished for companies No.
4 and 5, the other three embarking at
Caledonia."
Dire
-A. well-informed writer says: It
is difficult to believe that the internal
condition of Russia con be much pro-
longed without a crisis of some sort.
It is a land literally° given up to ty-
rants and plunderers. To such a pass
have matters come that nothing is
held sacred. The crowning audacity
has just been• -shown. The Czarina,
the Queen of Denmark, the Queen of
England, and other royal personages
recently equipped a hospital train at
St. Petersburg. It was fitted with
every requisite for the comfort of the
sick and wounded, and was despatched
with every box compartment carefully
secured with the imperial seals. Soon
after the train left St. Petersburg
something induced the Czarina to tele-
graph to Moscow to make a careful
inspection and this was done. The
seals appeared to be undistirbed. One
was broken as a test, and the contents
of the compartment were fomrd to be
useless blocks of wood. The whole
train was then examined. Everything
of value hacl disappeared, and only
blocks of wood were found. This -inci-
dent has produced a far greater im-
pression on the English than the naval
or military misfortunes of Russia. It
is naturally argued that nothing but
disaster swift and sure can befall a
country* where such things are possi-
ble.
THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC.
The Toronto Telegram puts the new
Transcontinental railway scheme in a
way that cannot fail to impress itself
upon the electors. We cannot put it
in exactly the same form, but give be-
low the actual position of matters, as
given by the Telegram: -
1st -The Eastern Section, 1900 miles.
Canada builds it all. The G. T. P.
ruus it all rent free for ten years; 3
per cent on cost for forty years. Then
Canada gets it back-PERHAPs.
2nd The Prairie Section, 900 miles.
Canada's credit builds this up to $13,-
000 a mile. The G. T. P. owns it FOR-
EVER.
3rd The Mountain Section, 800
miles. Canada's credit builds three-
fourths of this; the G. T. P. credit
builds one-fourth.
WHAT CANADA FINANCES.
Eastern section Whole cost
Prairie section $13,000 a mile
Mountain section..75 per cent. of cost
WHAT G. T. P. FINANCES
Eastern section 0 0 0
Prairie section....perhaps one-fourth
Mountain section ...one-fourth of cost
WHAT CANADA OWNS,
0-0 0 0.
WHAT G. T. P. OWNS.
Eastern section under lease, 40 years.
Prairie section outright.
Mountain section outright.
In opposition to this, Mr. Borden,
the (,'enervative Leader, proposes
that if Canada is to pay three-fourths
of the cost and own no part of the
railway, it is better that she pay the
other one-fourth, build it herself and
own it. In other words, he says: -
"IT I8 FOR THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE.
LET THEM DETERMINE wtir,T13ER CAN-
ADA. SHALL HAVE A GOVERNMENT-
OWNED RAILWAY, OR A RAILWAY -
OWNED GOVERNMENT."
THE AUDITOR -GENERAL.
After twenty -fire years of faithful
. service, John Lorne Macdougall, Audi-
tor -General of Canada, independent of
the Government, has resigned, be-
- cause the supervision of the expendi-
tures imposed upon him by law is con-
tested by the Ministers, and because a
: bill has been introduced to render; his
check upon the accounts ineffective.
The Toronto News, whose editorials
are independent in tone, says:---
!
"It is well known that lir. Mc-
Dougall had no desire to leave the ser-
tiice, He is better qualified for the
duties of his office to -day than ever.
Isis ambition to do good work is tee
keen now es when lie was appointed.

plan appointed by lion. Alex. Mae -
Remit, ie to protect the public chest, re-
signs, his office because Sir Wilfrid
Laurier declines to assist hint. He
appealed to Parliament, and his ap-
peal fell upon deaf ears."
The public will 't atek with interest -
the appointment wade to fill the va-
cancy. If one less cautions and
watchful of the expenditure is ap-
pointed, and one who will allow the
Ottawa spendthrifts to have their own
way with the Treasury, the electors
will reckon with the Government in
clue time. Only last. week a case was
discussed in the house which showed
that one loan had purchased at fur -
lined coat for himself and charged it
up to the Government. It would have
gone through but for the Auditor.
General; the result was that the luaus
had to pay for his own coat. This is
only one instance of the Auditor's use-
fulness. In the "Davis" case, the con-
tract was $18,800. The Government
extended the amount so that be could
receive $52,575. Mr. McDougall fought
this account and finally agreed to
$30,500 as the best he could do to pre-
vent a larger raid on the Treasury.
Mr. McDougall resigns now because
the Government refuses to give him
power to prevent improper and illegal
expenditures.
In Saturday Night (of strong Lib-
eral tendencies) there is a telling car-
toon. it represents Auditor -General
McDougall handing over the key of
Canada's Treasury to Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier, saying as he does so -"I suppose
you will be getting duplicates made
for all the contractors, Sir Wilfrid."
Saturday Night says: -
"In this age of grafts, where theft
ander the name of political exigencies
.is rampant, fashionable and even re-
spectable, somebody must be the chief
watch -dog of the Treasury, and Can-
ada's strong box never hail and pro-
bably never will have as fierce and
efficient a sentinel as the present
Auditor -General. His retirement will
be hailed with delight by every dis-
honest contractor, political grafter,
shady civil servant and unscrupulous
member of parliament, audthis should
be sufficient reason, as long as his fac-
ulties last, that he should be kept
where he is. He has done Canada
many a good turn, and in the Corn-
wall Lighting contract saved the tax-
payer many hundreds of thousands of
dollars, besides by his alertness fright-
ening many boodlers from making
attempts on the public treasury. The
powers he ask for were not too great
and should yet be allowed him."
